THE MESSAGE OF LIXDSEY.
Those who heard Judge Ben Lindsey
last evening, at the high school audi
torium in the fourth number of the
lecture 'course were benefitted. No
person could listen to his fervent ap
peal to parents without having arous
ed a conscience that may have. been
wwiumiu ior a length of time.
The Judge Is not an orator, neither
Is he blesBed with the , physical
strength and appearance to make him
an "easy talker," but that all passes
away after he has handled his subject
for five minutes. One forgets oratory
so Interesting is the tale of human life
The newspaper talk relative to
Judge W. R. Ellis being a candidate
for apiolntlve office at the bands of
the federal administration surely can
not have foundation, Judge Ellis has
been ' congressman from this district
for several terms. Me held the respect
of the people and a man of his years,
we do not believe, can afford to. cheap
en hia dignity and" force the people
to believe he is in politics for the
money, by trying far a federal appoint
ment after going through a losing con
gressional campaign. '
Such an occurence would Tie in line
with many of Oregon's so-called big
men, but there were those in. the state
who believed Judge Ellis to be larger
than some men who had held office In
the past However; if he seeks an ap
pointment he not only labels himself
a Jub hunter at home, but with such
broad, brainy men as Taft he must be
looked upon as a village politician.
The conclusion should not as yet be
drawn on the Judge for there is ,noth-

a candidate.

: A COMMUJilCATIOX.
La Grande, April' 5. (To the Edi
tor of the Observer) Every now and
then some person who has been at
tempting to preach the gospel to a
congregation "steps down and out"
and then attempts to bring disgrace
on others who have also preached the
gospel. Men of this stamp are not un
frequently very imperfectly educated
for the ministry, and really know lit
tle of the message that should be
preached. Something of this sort hap
pened in La Grande recently. A young
man came out from the middle west
a few years ago. and was installed here
as a preacher in one of our churches.
He looked so young as to suggest the
question as to whether or not he had
really been weaned. But notwithstand
ing his youth, he preached some sort
of gospel here for quite a period. He
even preached politics, a thing that
no real clergyman was ever ordained
to do. Recently he resigned his charge
and now he denounces preachers gen- j
erally. He evidently has foreotten th
command, .J Judge not, lest ye be Judg
ed." : He, without knowledge as to
others, pronounces preachers general
ly to be dishonest, etc. He, is in a
position to judge himself but he knows
little of other men, and his Judgment
is utterly worthless, as to his neigh
bors. I . have heard that a clergyman
asked him the other day where he
studied theology; and he answered
that he. had never studied theology.
He came here to teach people about
God and divine things without having
studied theology, the Queen of Scienc
es, which treats of God and divine
things. It was a case of the blind
trying to lead the blind, aaid th?' result
could only be failure. Christ called
his twelve apostles and .taught them
three' years and then commissioned
them to go into all the world and teach
the people and to make disciples of
all nations. Here is a young man sent
out by some one without proper train
ing to teach others what he himself
was not well grounded in, and he goes
to pieces, and thinks that, because he
has made a failure all men who
preach the gospel are failure. When
he gets older he will see that he has
made a foolish body of himself, and
that he was In error in Judging others.
It is a great mistake for any body of
people, calling themselves Christians,
to send men out to teach without anv
chart or guide as to what tluy are to
teach. You might Just as well send a
man out to survey a township of land
without a compass or other Instrument
to guide him, as to Bend an untrained
man forth to preach the gospel with
directions to tell the people that all
any one need believe to be a Christian
Is that Jesus Christ Is the Son of God.
Devils believe that. Great is the mys
tery of Godliness, and men sent forth
to preach the gospel should be care
fully taught of the things that pertain
to God and His church. Even they
many are not very successful In mak
ing disciples and planting and water
ing the church. The ocean beach is
strewn with wrecks. All callings have
their failures. The Ill-prepared In all
professions make great mistakes. Such
Is life and men should not attempt to
preach the Christian Gospel without
careful training for the greatest of
all callings.
